ASKINA® CALGITROL AG+ 15X15 CM
Askina® Calgitrol® Ag+ is an antimicrobial dressing for exuding and infected wounds made from a soft, conformable non-woven fabric based on sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and reinforcing cellulose fiber(s) with the antimicrobial properties of silver. The silver contained in the dressing has an antimicrobial effect on a broad spectrum of bacteria present in the wound and retained between the fibers of the dressing. Through gel formation, debris and all bacteria present in the wound exudate can be retained within the dressing fibers and removed once the dressing is changed.

When dry, Askina® Calgitrol® Ag+ can be easily cut to the size of the wound. Even when the dressing is moist, like a gelled fiber, its structure remains intact.

Main features:
• High vertical exudate absorption capacity
• Antimicrobial effect given by prolonged-release ionic silver
• Maintains a properly moist wound environment
• Protects the wound edge and surrounding skin from maceration
• One-piece removal thanks to the reinforcing cellulose fibre
• Broad antimicrobial spectrum
• Low level of cytotoxicity: only the ionic fragment of silver is released
• Disrupts and destroys biofilm

Directions for use:
• Suitable for all ages
• For moderately to heavily exuding wounds
• For chronic wounds, such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers
• For surgical injuries, such as post-operative wounds and donor sites
• For traumatic injuries, such as abrasions and lacerations
• For partial thickness burns
Askina® Calgitrol® Ag+ is composed of a mix of fibres that make it a resistant dressing even after contact with wound exudate.
Composition:
• CMC gelling fiber
• Reinforcing cellulose fiber
• Cellulose fiber containing silver nanoparticles

Risk Class: III
